Bispetorv

Bispetorv (lit. 'Bishop's Square') is a public square located in the Indre By neighborhood of Aarhus, Denmark. The square covers approximately 5,000 m2 (54,000 sq ft) and features an equestrian statue of king Christian X. Bispetorv is surrounded my a number of notable historic buildings, including A

arhus Cathedral, Aarhus Theatre, and the Viking Museum. It was last renovated in 2016, when it was converted from a parking lot to a public space which is today a venue for many public events and gatherings in the city. Bispetorv faces Aarhus Cathedral to the north, Aarhus Theatre to the east and is located in or close to the historic Latin Quarter neighborhood. A low sandstone wall bounds the square to the east, south and west and there are two small fountains with drinking water. The streets of Mejlgade, Skolegade and the squares of Store Torv and Skt. Clemens Torv emanate from Bispetorv.
